Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 hit the stores on 30 August 2018 for Xbox One, PS4 and Windows PC.
This year's game will not feature the iconic Champions League, which had almost become synonymous with the PES franchise. However, it includes the International Champions Cup along with more licenses, taking the game one step closer to a realistic football experience. Furthermore, the overall gameplay is also improved.
Having a good goalkeeper between the sticks could tilt a football game in your favour, and it is important that one understands the best players available in PES 2019, which will not only help them in the Master League but will also go a long way in building a perfect team in myClub mode.

Neuer is very good at starting a quick counterattack and playing out from the back, making him a must-have in a team. Interestingly, he boasts 71 rating for heading and 86 rating for kicking power.
